how to keep exercisin?

| i started doing physical stuff again after prolly more than a year od being a lazy ass. just after a single day of workouts my everything really hurts, and it's not even next day yet. anyone has any tips on how to power through the pain and make it into a habit?
also how tf do i stop stress eatin and overall start eating healthy?
other weight loss tips are actually appreciated as well


| There's an app called burn your gat with me
Use it


| Eat less and more frequent, instead of two or three meals have five, but smaller. Also some fruit as a snack comes on handy - apples/bananas or carrots are perfect, but don't get too much since too fructose might ruin the effect. Same with exercises - don't get with "all out" workout since day zero. Start with light workout, 10 pushups, 20 squats, 10 crunches, 5 pulls in 3 cycles with a couple minute run as a warmup and finishing touch.


| Damn. You've just reminded me to start working out again :) thanks g/u/rl


| If you stress eat, try buying gum. Chewing gum is a good substitute for me in between meals. Either that or tea/mineral water.


| Buy a dog and train it to only chase and bite you and you only.


| Muscle sore is normal after doing exercise that you are not used to. It will go away after your body is used to the exercise (unless you are building muscle)

To make exercising a habit, I just do it at the same time/day. So when I don't exercise that time/day, I'll be aware that sometime hasn't been done yet.

I have no idea what stress eating is, but fasting worked for me.


| Pick a good role model for physical fitness and strive for that. As the weeks go by watch your progress!


| op here
it's morning of the next day now
everything hurts like shit
i have no idea how to force myself through pain today
how are you supposed to do it even


| The trick is exercising a different muscle group per day, this way the muscles that are sore can rest and you cane exercise more continuously

hmm
guess i gotta figure out some more ways to exercise then
or at least don't do it all in one day


| you just don't.


| >>139049 but i gotta


| >>139093 don't give up! The beginning is the hardest part, after a while your muscles will get used to the exercise and will stop hurting


| If you need to 'power through the pain' you're doing something wrong OP. Muscle soreness is one thing, but real pain is a problem. It's your body telling you that if you keep going you'll end up handicapped.
